In biology, galvanism is the contraction of a muscle that is stimulated by an electric current. In physics and chemistry, it is the induction of electrical current from a chemical reaction, typically between two chemicals with differing electronegativities. == History == The effect was named after the scientist Luigi Galvani, who investigated the ...

When different metals are in contact with each other, one 'eats' the other according to the scheme below, listing the most durable metal last. The table also reflects the durability of metals immersed in water. This knowledge is useful for understanding a deteriorated wrecksite, as well as for treating recovered objects (never mixing metals). The g...

Galvanism is the production of electricity by means of the galvanic battery. The name is derived from Galvani, professor of anatomy at Bologna, who observed that the limbs of a dead frog could be caused to move by the contact of metals. His experiments attracted the attention of Volta, professor of natural philosophy at Pavia, who shortly afterward...
